Okay, thus, the idea sounds a little bit simpler.
Actually, I thought about the json output produced of strace(if my
memory does not fail me it was the last year GSoC project), but I got
stopped because I found out, that the project in the development hence
still is not merged. Nonetheless, I think even for static query tool it
would be nice to use pretty nice output(ncurses). I'm just mastering the
ncurses.
So, I will fix my proposal.
